Is this possible?

Hi all! I work on the ninth hole of a golf course. Pace of play is a big subject here. We have a sign posted that gets printed everyday with all the group names, the original tee time, and the turn/finish time. I was wondering if there is a way to automate it electronically. Where it changes, keeps up with pace, and has the current time also in it. Almost like an arrival departure board at a train station/airport.
Here’s how I thought it should look like:
Pace Of Play
Tee Time Group Turn Time Pace
10:10 J. Smith 12:14 On Time
10:20 A. Smith 12:24 On Time Current Time
10:30
Thank you in advance!

Sounds easy, with the monitors running some simple frontend pulling up to date data from a centralized server somewhere.

Yeah this would be pretty straightforward to build with a simple web app that refreshes every few minutes and pulls from whatever tee time system you're already using

For the first part sure.. keeping track of current rate of play is much more difficult.. you'd need some sort of sensor to identify groups at each tee or green or wherever

We use ForeTees. I think having like my iPad outside or by the window where the sheet usually is would make the most sense. I don’t have a second monitor to use
